Linux Kernel Development – too fast to be stable

The Linux kernel is the largest collaborative software development projects ever. This talk will discuss exactly how Linux is developed, how fast it is happening, who is doing the work, and how we all stay sane keeping up with it. It will discuss the development model used, and how we create a stable and secure system based on this fast moving model. It will talk about the proper ways to use the kernel releases and common ways companies get it wrong.
